Survey Finds Significant ‘Grocery Gap’ In Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — For many of us, attempts to eat healthy are often thwarted by our love of junk food.

But a new survey shows there’s also another obstacle – not enough grocery stores that sell healthy food.

The poll was done by the Center for Prevention at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota.

Some 49 percent of those who responded to the poll said that not having a grocery store nearby that sells healthy food impacts what they eat.
